Because no one has visited it for too long, the stone door next to the stone pillar has been covered with moss.
The vines growing wantonly also occupied most of the space in the cave.
This moist and hidden place should have been a paradise for all kinds of poisonous insects to breed and reproduce, but strangely, when they walked in, they found no trace of snakes, insects, rats, or ants.
"This is where the tomb is? It's too shabby." Yu Suchang looked around and said.
"It's indeed a bit shabby, but this shouldn't be the tomb gate, but the Hades Hall for sacrifices." Miss Hong said.
Having followed Chen Yulou in robbing many tombs, she knows a little bit about it.
"Go in and have a look."
After saying this, Xu Rui strode towards the palace gate.
Climb up the steps, cross the three-meter-wide stone steps, and walk to the stone door.
After feeling it for a moment, I didn't notice the existence of the restriction, so I pushed hard.
Zazaza.
With a harsh friction sound, the two stone doors slowly opened to both sides.
A damp and rotten smell came to my nose.
The light from the outside breaks the darkness inside the temple.
A huge dark shadow appeared in everyone's eyes. Partridge Whistle and the others, who were already highly nervous, almost knocked out the magic weapons in their hands if Kunlun hadn't been in front.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a stone statue."
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he stepped in.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed in.
really.
In the center of the temple, on a throne that is seven feet high, sits a stone statue of a mountain god over one foot tall, with angry eyes and fangs, and a strong physique.
On both sides of the main hall, there are two standing stone statues of mountain ghosts.
What is strange is that one mountain ghost statue is holding a brown stone toad, and the other is holding a two-foot-tall stone gourd.
"This is...the Palace of the Underworld? Why does it look like a mountain temple?" Yu Suchang said.
She didn't know about tomb robbing, but she knew that mountain temples basically looked like this.
"Why is there a mountain temple in the tomb?"
Hua Ling was curious.
Partridge Whistle didn't know much about it either. He didn't know much about the burial system. He had more experience accumulated from many years of tomb robbing.
But he found that his experience didn't seem to apply here.
Unable to figure out the answer, everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Rui.
Everyone has become accustomed to treating him as their backbone.
At this moment, Xu Rui was looking at the tall mountain statue in front of him.
The so-called mountain god is actually a mandrill.
According to Taoist records, mandrills are spirits that change over thousands of years.
He is born with magical powers of the wood attribute, has superior qualifications and amazing strength.
However, as the spiritual energy between heaven and earth declines, there are fewer and fewer things like spiritual trees, and mandrills have almost disappeared.
With a wave of his right hand, a strong wind blew up, and the dust under his feet was picked up and flew out of the hall.
Everyone soon saw the ground covered with runes within one foot of the mountain god's throne.
"Whether it's the Mountain Temple or the Hades Temple, let's just keep going down. When we get to the end, we will naturally find what we want."
After speaking, Xu Rui flicked his finger.
A puppet seal flew down, and the mystery of the formation was instantly understood.
The grand formation in this mountain temple is only of the ninth grade, and with his current level of Lingbao Puppetry, it is easy to master it.
After understanding it, my magic power came to me.
Boom.
The formation diagram on the ground slowly rotated, and in the rich cyan aura, eight stone pillars with toads lying on them bounced out of the formation diagram.
Immediately afterwards, the formation diagram on the ground slowly sank, revealing a downward staircase.
Xu Rui stepped in.
Everyone looked at each other and quickly followed.
After they all entered, the formation was restored and everything returned to its original state.
…
at the same time.
The 'Obsessed Two Demons' and Dong Wen also led people to the valley filled with poisonous fog.
They soon discovered the torn down vines nearby.
"It seems someone has already entered."
The fat fan picked up the vine and took a look at it, observing the footprints on the ground toward the rear.
"Because they don't know what they are looking for and have been left behind by us, so it must not be them." Chijiu said.
Mirou nodded in agreement, then smiled and said: "It seems we are not the only ones interested in the 'Phoenix Guts'."
Dong Wen looked at the valley in front of him, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
According to clan records, through this valley, you can reach the temple where the clan worshiped the mountain god two thousand years ago.
Since the clan's treasure was taken away by King Xian, he is the first Zhelong clan leader to come here.
Chijiu nodded and placed his palms on the two meteorite pillars. After a moment of reflection, a look of shock appeared on his face.
"What a powerful formation."
Turning around to look at Fanrou and Dongwen.
"This formation has reached the eighth level. It is basically impossible to break the formation. We can only force our way through."
Looking at the dead valley, Dong Wen frowned, muttered something in his mouth, and patted the cage on his waist. Finger-long insects flew out from it.
If Xu Rui saw them, he would definitely recognize them at a glance. These insects were no different from the ferocious grasshopper-like flying insects he encountered in the waterways of Zhelong Mountain.
Driven by Dong Wen, the insects flew into the valley.
It was normal at first, but soon it staggered, fell to the ground, and lost its voice.
A wisp of gray-white mist rose from the ground and enveloped the insect. It seemed as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid and quickly melted and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions instantly changed.
"What a domineering poison." Mirou said in a stunned tone.
Dongwen looked solemn. His flying dragon was a mid-level ninth-grade spirit insect. After flying in, he died before he could run out thirty meters?
The tyranny of toxicity here is evident.
"No wonder even those poisonous insects and snakes don't dare to live in this valley."
The fat fan turned his head and said, "Old idiot, I'm afraid we only need the support of your 'Xuanyin Gourd' to get through this poisonous formation."
The tall and thin Chijiu nodded slightly.
"Everyone gathered around me."
After hearing this, everyone quickly walked over and gathered behind him.
"Those behind me grab the sleeves of those in front and follow my steps closely. If you fall behind, you may wish yourselves good luck."
Everyone heard what he said, and no one doubted his words.
These are the famous two obsessed demons, and they have no compassion at all.
When everyone was ready, Chijiu took off the green gourd from his waist.
With a burst of magic power, the gourd flew into the air.
Layers of light cyan light shone down, protecting everyone in the middle.
"Follow me and go."
Under his leadership, everyone walked into the poisonous fog.
In an instant, a thick gray-white mist rose from beneath the feet, and after a while, the entire valley was shrouded in thick poisonous mist.
It cannot be blown away by the wind or melted by the sun. From a distance, it looks like a solid piece of gray-white jade.
Chijiu, who was walking in front, suddenly became serious.
He discovered that as the poisonous mist became thicker, the poison's erosion of his mana shield increased exponentially.
He must consume a lot of mana to maintain the stability of the shield.
What's more important is that these highly toxic gray-white poisonous mist gradually obscure the sight and corrode the consciousness.
Those who are obsessed with wine and meat are all old people who have been hanging out in the spiritual world for many years. You can tell at a glance that they are not good.
At that moment, no matter who his subordinates were, the two of them set up Dong Wen on the left and right, activated their escape skills, and rushed towards the opposite side of the valley like lightning.
Taking advantage of the last bit of light, he rushed out in a dangerous manner.
"Fortunately, fortunately, if I lost my direction and got stuck, I'm afraid I would have been completely carried away." Mirou had a smile on his face as if he had survived the disaster.
Dong Wen's face became heavy as he listened to the screams and curses in the poisonous mist.
"Fellow Taoist Dongwen, don't worry. Long before we came to Zhelong Mountain, everyone had agreed that life and death depended on fate, and wealth and honor depended on heaven. Since they chose to come in, they were naturally prepared to die."
Chijiu's expression was calm, and there was no trace of guilt on his face as hundreds of people died because of him.
Dong Wen nodded slightly, he understood very well.
If he had not understood the situation in Zhelong Valley and was strong, these two guys would not have saved him just now.
Only a dozen breaths passed before and after, and there was no sound in the mist-filled valley.
After a few more breaths, the fog began to slowly dissipate.
But there were no corpses in the valley, let alone any trace of human existence.
Everything has been refined by poisonous gas.
"Fellow Daoist Dongwen, it's time for us to leave. If we are too late, your Zhelong Clan's treasure will be captured by those guys in front of you." Mirou said with a smile.
Dong Wen took a deep breath and turned around suddenly.
